I much prefer a V8 or a V10 this ive sold mine , but nothing launches like a Turbo S on street tires . 1.5 60 ft all day long . From a roll vs a tuned S63 Tu eclipsed M yes they are very close , my full exhaust 93 octane tuned M6 ran identical 7.3-7.5 60-130 in the same DA and location but was not as consistent in hot weather. But on a certified drag strip an exhaust only .2 Turbo S ran a 10.29 @132 mph on pump. I've yet to see a stock F90 come close to that combo . You can mod anything to be faster than anything of course .

To clarify - I ran a 991.2 Turbo - not Turbo S - we were less than a tenth and 1/2 MPH apart same day, same track - and I can assure you the driver of the Turbo knows how to drive as they are one of the biggest builder/Tuners for exotic cars in our Country. I agree that the S is a different ball game - but it obviously should be lol.
The Turbo on its own is about 70K more than a F90 M5 - and they are almost identical in performance. The S is over 100K more (Canadian dollars) than the F90 Competition - and yes - it is a good 3-4 tenths quicker and about 2 MPH faster in the 1/4. That said - tune and downpipes for an F90 aren't 100K and that is 10.3 at 135 MPH for the F90. So the performance argument isn't so simple. I also never believe anyone at the track when it comes to people's modified cars - stock vs stock is what we are discussing.
And again - the F90 and Porsche 991 and now 992 are not direct competitors - the F90 simply over-achieves - performance wise - and that makes it a strong value buy to get a super well rounded car. A GT Luxury car at that.
